Re: Batik and Java 7 non-compliancy

Hi Michiel,

over the years I've worked on and off on removing the com.sun dependency.
This is about 99% done in Batik Trunk (which is stable enough to be used
in production (which I do)). There is a 1% uncertainty concerning
aspects of color fidelity. This has not been verified mostly due to lack
of knowledge and time on my part. I haven't installed and done tests
with Java 7, yet, so I can't tell if the Batik Trunk build would run
through. But there's a good chance that Batik Trunk compiles with Java 7.

Personally I do not use the JPEG and TIFF functionality in Batik so I can use the compiled jar instead for the time being, but I'm not sure if this also works when you actually use this functionality. I would expect you will get class not loaded exceptions on the obsolete sun classes.
